About Pioneer

Today Pioneer is a world leader in electronics products for the car, home and business markets, respected for their role in introducing innovations such as; consumer laser disc (1979), car CD player (1984), GPS car navigation (1990), DVD-Video player (1996), high definition plasma display (1997) and organic electroluminscent (OEL) display (1997). To this day, Pioneer still develops and manufactures innovative and high-tech entertainment and electronic products.

As we move further into the 21st century, the environment of the electronics industry is changing rapidly. In the midst of such change, even more foresight and flexibility are required, particularly in research and development. R&D has been crucial to Pioneer's growth, creativity and leadership. With seven percent of revenues invested back into R&D, they continue to develop imaginative products that best fit the lifestyle of the new century.

Whether it's a PureVision plasma television with crystal clear high definition images or a sound system for your car that allows you to hear every bass-thumping note, they want to add that extra feature that makes the music and movies really touch your soul. In many ways, our corporate slogan says it all - sound.vision.soul.

Everyone's got soul. The never-ending challenge is to find better ways to feel it deeper down inside. At Pioneer, the slogan "Move the Heart and Touch the Soul," means more than words can express. It's our mission to stir as many senses and sensibilities as we can through the wonders of everlasting sound and vision.
